You wouldn't know what kind of tools they would use to test to make sure your phone is still valid for warranty, they may as well use an unsigned sin file to test whether you have done stuff on the bootloader.
So my advice is don't do anything yet until you get your phone back from the service centre.

I was talking to my mate actually who knows loads of stuff about SE and the way they work etc and he said the tool they use to check, Emma I think it's called, hasn't been updated since April so they won't be able to pick up anything to do with the BL for now
No, not even with a nandroid backup

u can fully re-lock ur bootloader..with this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=17494360 GOOD LUCK BUDDY
I've been trying all day to flash the .71 firmware and different kernels for miui.
I really want miui to work on my x10. I've tried all the provided kernels for the miui Roms I've tried.
I can flash the uk generic firmware fine but when I try the kernels in flashtool it keeps saying error aborted and keeps doing that but if I try uk generic again it flashes fine.
I have x10i uk vodaphone
Thanks

Have you unlocked your boot loader?
It was previously unlocked. If I reflash original uk firmware does it relock again? Any app about to test if it locked or not?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1254087
where it says: RUNNING S1_EROM FROM VER "r8Axxx" if the first letter is lowercase, you're unlocked. If you see "R8Axxx" the you will need to unlock.

please can anyone help me to unlock my boot loader step by step in an easy way either with the latest flash tool or any other tool ?
please anyone knew help us with a step by step explanation .
Thanks,
there is one One touch tool to unlock bootloader but the thing is u need to be on 2.1 then it can unlock bootloader easily !! if u can flash 2.1 then search for the one touch tool i dont remember the name exactly but u can search the forums for it !!
If you go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=920746 and download flashtool you can unlock with one click of button. You need to be on stock kernel to do this. or unlock button will be grayed out
Edit: Is your phone sim locked or unlocked? If it is unlocked u need to check with s1tool if you can actually unlock this way (it can break your device). Info for this is here:

Thank you all for your support I unlocked the boot loader with the flash tool .
The reason why it didn't work for the first time was cause the su binary of the root was old and i update it the tried again and It worked .
Thank you all .

No.even 2.3.3 also can unlock bootloader using Flashtool.
Here's the easiest step.
1.Download the latest flashtool.
2.Flash the phone to stock SE 2.3.3 ROM.
3.Root Your Phone
4.Click Plugin & unlock your bootloader.
Thats all.

with the new flash tool no you don't have to be on stock 2.1 it's OK even if you are on stock 2.3.3

what is this about su binary of the root? how can i check version and how can i update it, just for try.

Search forum for s1tool and follow. Also (not sure if this is accurate or not) type on keypad *#*#service#*#*, go on service info, software info & check s1 boot version it has few numbers then r8a033. If the r Is lower case (like above) then I believe u have unlocked. Even easier after I type all this flash doom kernel for unlock bl if se logo is replaced by dooms boot pic then u unlocked allow

you will not loose ICS as when ever its released you can get it from XDA and then you can flash your mobile with flashtool to get the lastest ICS on your mobile ....
so go for it & unlock your bootloader & enjoy.............

Hello
I started this thread for the people who have unlocked their bootloader or their carrier won't allow the ics update(like me )
So... When the official update is out can someone create a ftf file for us to feed our lovely phone?
Tnx.

Wrong Thread..!
And obviously someone will upload the ftf coz most of us here have unlocked bootloaders .

Why wouldn't carrier allow the update? And how you know it?
Also, bootloader can be relocked/restored.

I unlocked by unlocking software which I paid for (I paid for network unlock, it bootloader unlocked optionally) and Sony says both PCC and SEUS would not work. WRONG! SEUS still works for me, I've used it about 3 times. Have you tried SEUS?
